Battlestar Galactica: The Second Coming
Battlestar Galactica The Second Coming is a 1999 sciencefiction action film. It was a project to create a pilot film for a proposed new Battlestar Galactica television series that would pick up where the original 1978 series left off. All continuity related to Galactica 1980 would have been completely ignored.
Richard Hatch was able to get many stars from the original series including Richard Lynch in place of Patrick Macnee as Count Iblis, John Colicos Count Baltar, and Terry Carter Colonel Tigh, now President of the Quorum of Twelve to appear in the film. Many others declined for fear of upsetting Glen Larson, the creator of the original series, as the ownership of the rights to a new film or series was in question at the time. Hatch himself also reprised his own role of Apollo now Commander of the Fleet. The original character Starbuck was chosen not to be recast and instead, a new character was created as his daughter, a bold and brazen Viper pilot not unlike the now female Starbuck character in the new series.Filming on the project began in the summer of 1998 and lasted through late 1999. Some of the filming was done in conjunction with the Battlestar Galactica 20th Yahren Reunion which was held at the Los Angeles Hilton in September 1998. ........
